>>And so, in my State of the -- my State of the Union -- or state -- my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation -- I asked Americans to give 4,000 years -- 4,000 hours over the next -- the rest of your life -- of service to America. That's what I asked -- 4,000 hours. -- Bridgeport, Conn., April 9, 2002<<

The "towel snapper" showed his petulant face and his disgust with the fact that David Gregory continued to push with his questions. He made a remark that the question wasn't appreciated by his colleagues and this appeared to fall flat on its face.

Some lady said that Bush claims that if they used this NSA program before 9/11 then they could have stopped it...BUT she said - they were IN the US calling each other IN the US, how could they have spied on them...

Bush didn't even understand the question...he said they would have traced the phone calls to outside the US...IDIOT!!! Oh bring on the hearings...PLEASE!!!!!

he is taking some risk with a fix. I used to think maybe he had qualms about something he was going to make or let happen but it only appears in the period when he is not sure he will get away with it. Once committed and confident of not losing he goes into comfort mode again. Watch out if THAT happens. That is when people die or lose their rights.

So is Bush simply naked under pressure or worried that a new scheme might not work? Probably both considering he is floundering for a highly unlikely SOTU "comeback". Once he gets comfortable with the idea of simply blowing off the SOTU as harmless fluff and not getting acclaim for radically screwing things up he'll be more at ease and coincidentally less available to the press.

158. As I said above, I think he is telling Jackie that there is NO PARDON

in the offing for him. Ya squeal, ya deal...with jail.

I think they are worried that one of those grip and grin pics will end up as the cover of NEWSWEEK or TIME, when the cover should be (from their perspectives) a SOTU shot. Geez, I sure hope someone got one to them!!!
